New King James Version

Job 39:21-30 New King James Version (NKJV)

21. He paws in the valley, and rejoices in his strength;He gallops into the clash of arms.

22. He mocks at fear, and is not frightened;Nor does he turn back from the sword.

23. The quiver rattles against him,The glittering spear and javelin.

24. He devours the distance with fierceness and rage;Nor does he come to a halt because the trumpet has sounded.

25. At the blast of the trumpet he says, ‘Aha!’He smells the battle from afar,The thunder of captains and shouting.

26. “Does the hawk fly by your wisdom,And spread its wings toward the south?

27. Does the eagle mount up at your command,And make its nest on high?

28. On the rock it dwells and resides,On the crag of the rock and the stronghold.

29. From there it spies out the prey;Its eyes observe from afar.

30. Its young ones suck up blood;And where the slain are, there it is.”
